DomPerignon:
Let me educate you now that Emirs in the north have remand powers and also act as judges.

The Emirs also have limited powers in granting pardons depending on the crime.

Northern Nigeria no be your mate.

They have had a well structured educated and literate civilization longer than you can phantom.

They had indigenous architecture, built cities and had all the institutions of what a modern state have including a standing army.

I don't know where you guys who stopped swinging from trees in just a hundred years can assume you can dictate to the north.

How nah?

DomPerignon:
Are you dense?

Sharia law and courts are embedded in our constitution and existed in northern Nigeria prior to the Ibo coup that dismantled regional governments.

Even a British colonial officer had to seek a permit on '' health '' grounds to get licence to consume alcohol in the fundamentalist islamist north.

Sharia law has existed in the north for centuries prior to colonialism and the British respected the system . At independence, there was still sharia laws and courts until military rule .

It was in 1978 during the drafting of a new - the 1979 constitution, that sharia was then included again.

Military rule which preferred military tribunals and marshal laws saw sharia take a back seat.

Then in 1998, the revised 1979 constitution was passed which we know today as the 1999 constitution.

Your ignorance is you see military juntas suspending the constitution and courts as excuse of sharia being a new thing when it goes back centuries in the north.

Now explain how you that suddenly began wearing clothes as late as 1960, can dictate to northern Muslims?

BeardedMeat:
Let them keep their Sharia if only they will limit it to Muslims only.

DomPerignon:
My friend go and protest in front of the NASS in Abuja to have sharia expunged from our constitution.

Or you can take it up to the supreme court to declare sharia as illegal.

But while you are at it, remember your people prefer voodoo justice .

DomPerignon:
Saudi Arabia practices the most strict form.of sharia law.

Beheadings are the standard method of executions .

As I said, If no one is stopping you from trooping to your shrines why are you foaming in the mouth over sharia law in the north?

DomPerignon:
Where has sharia law been against Christians?

Prohibition of alcohol was once a thing in the US driven by fundamentalist Christians.

Is drunkenness a hallmark of christian identity ?

Outside , alcohol prohibition , which other sharia law is targeting Christians ?

Public decency laws were once enforced in the now degenerate west up till the 1950s.

So explain to me how Sharia discriminates against Christians ?

DomPerignon:
Are voodoo customs and shrines not treated as supreme in your SE?

Why should Sharia law be abolished but your voodoo courts allowed to remain?

The fact remains is if the people who the law was passed for are against it.

Just as you revere your voodoo shrines and courts and see them as more potent which most of your surface Christian population troop to and patronise, so also are northern Muslims willing to abide by sharia law.

In Saudi Arabia, sharia law exist and is enforced. Tell your drumpf to get them to end sharia there first.

DomPerignon:
There are provisions for the establishment of Sharia law and courts in the constitution.

Hisbah is the policing arm of Sharia law.

Why is this even your headache?

Have northern Muslims demanded you stop using juju shrines to bind oaths like in Okirja shrine ?

Have they in anyway interfered with your voodoo customs of going to shrines to settle scores or prove innocence?

If you guys can practice your own voodoo courts that always passes down barbaric instant sentences , why is sharia law among majority Muslim states your problem?

SHARIA LAW IS NOT A CUSTOMARY LAW. It claws every aspect of the general law and rights in Nigeria, not just the north.

Here's a small example of the effect of Sharia law on the Nigerian economy:

- Alcohol Ban, Full VAT Share ... Sharia states ban alcohol but get VAT from it.

- Destroy Goods, Take Tax... They seize alcohol yet share its VAT.

- Lagos Pays for North... Lagos funds Sharia states via VAT.

- Fixed Northern Fund... VAT supports NEDC despite zero local input.

- Policy Creates Dependency... Bans cut revenue; federal funds fill gap.

You see, sharia law is light years ahead of other customary laws. Actually, it is not a customary law as it's scope is wider. And the radicality of those who uphold it is light years of vawulance ahead of the radicality of other customs.

While you deceive yourself that sharia is customary, those who know what's going on in the background understand that Sharia is a Nigerian law, and totally NOT customary. That's what they make you believe while they laugh at you behind the scenes.

Dey Play. No worry.

DomPerignon:
Go and protest in Kano that they should rescind sharia law.

AMINDA:
Elrufai was not on the ballot and he wouldn't rig just to deliver Tinubu. Inspite of how unpopular Tinubu was in 2023, he got 399k to Atiku's 499k to win Kaduna due to the efforts of Elrufai. Despite Kwankwaso and Obi also getting substantial votes in Kaduna as well. Elrufai's contribution to Tinubu's election extended beyond Kaduna which is not a homogeneous Northern state like say, Kano. Show me any Southwest state asides Lagos that delivered a higher margin of votes to Tinubu than what he got in Kaduna. This ungratefulness by the Southwest APC is why the North will now back their own son in 2027 with their full chest. The Southwest have clearly shown that no good deed goes unpunished.

You seem to be very knowledgeable. So does this number beat Naira depreciation?

Elose11:
At the beginning of 2025, Transcorp rebased their shares by dividing the shares by four. The technicalities involved in this I cannot explain as i am not an economist. But if your shares was 1m before, it will come down to 250,000. So by your analysis, the 313.5k shares had come down to 78.25k. by the time you multiply that by the current share price of N43, you will get N3.37m, not N13.4m,
